Sugar & Spice

Specialties

Handmade chocolates, gift confectionery, wines, spirits and liqueurs and delicious home made ice cream. It’s all available at Sugar and Spice where you can choose from off the shelf gift boxed Belgian chocolates or, for the more discerning customer, choose a bespoke selection straight from the cabinet which offers locally-​produced chocolates from the Isle of Arran along with continental favourites such as Rose and Violet Creams.

The range of confectionery is enormous with many items attractively packaged in-​house making the gift of confectionery a little more special.

Boxed chocolates are complemented with a range of fruit wines and liqueurs and gift-​packed malt whiskies and unusual liqueurs from Scotland.

On site, there is an award-​winning artisan ice cream factory producing over 50 flavours of luxury ice cream under the name of Geraldo’s. Each flavour is carefully made by hand using natural fruit flavours and no genetically modified ingredients. You can taste the difference!

History

Established in 2000.

Sugar and Spice originally started out as «The Candy Man.» The owner’s father started the business and was something of a sweet tooth. He really liked confectionery and one day someone called him the Candy Man. The name stuck and that’s what he called his shop.

After 2 years he became ill and his daughter, Toni, took over the business. She re-​named the business, Sugar and Spice, and started to offer more gourmet confectionery and chocolate products. After trading successfully for three more years, she carried out a full refurbishment of the shop and incorporated the ice cream factory at the rear of the premises. It was around this time that her father died and she named the ice cream in memory of him — Geraldo’s.

The business now retails many of its products online and offers a bespoke, personalised service to customers looking for gift hampers or special occasion gifts. Enquiries can be taken by telephone or submitted by email.
